Senior's Divide $B,OOO Gift
Between Co-op, Student Press
In the final tabulation of the voting for the senior class gift, the
proposal to divide the $BOOO between the student co-op and the
planned student press won by 128 votes over giving the entire
amount to the press fund.
Terry Ruhlman, president of the senior class, announced the
results of the balloting after allowing time for the postcards mailed
up to the Friday midnight dead
line to be counted. Of the seniors
already graduated, 45% voted by
mail, and in addition, 42% of the
seniors on campus made their
selections.
1032 Vote
A total of 458 seniors cast their
votes for the proposal to give the
co-op $2OOO and contribute the
remaining $6OOO to the student
press, while 330 favored allocat
ing the entire $BOOO to the press.
The proposals to set aside the
whole amount for the establish
ment of a memorial gate and to
split the money between the gate
and the student press each re
ceived 122 votes, thus giving, a
total of 1032 votes cast.
The $2OOO sum for the co-op
will be used to enlarge the facili
ties and stocks of the present
establishment, and possibly to
ease or supplement the cabinet
subsidy now being used.
Possible Addition
The student press fund, riow in
creased to $12,500 by the $6OOO
increment to last year's graduat
ing class gift of $6,500, may be
augmented by a further addition
of $4OOO from the sinking fund of
the Daily Collegian, Inc. The total
of 16,500 is still short of the
$25,000 estimated to be necessary
for the purchase of equipment for
the proposed student press.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1949
Might this be the juvenile phase
of the "new look," you ask? Or at
least a Penn State version?
Call it what you like. There is
actually no reason behind little
Suzan's "new look" except that
one night her sitters (you know,
people who baby-sit) wanted to
take some pictures. Mr. and Mrs.
Victor Adams, the sitters, decid
ed to use Suzan as their subject.
So they dressed her up, ob
viously mostly with someone
else's clothes, put a beer mug in
one hand, an umbrella in the oth
er, a derby on her head, and you
see their result.
By the way, Suzan's last name
is Burmester, she's three years
old, and lives in Spring Lea Park,
Bellefonte. ' Her father, Heinze,
is a junior in EE.
Take it easy, you guys, she's got
a date for Senior Ball.

LaVie To Take
Junior Pictures
In order to facidlitate handling
the large volume of student pho
tographs for the 1950 La Vie,
juniors may have their pictures
taken this semester, Ramon Saul,
1950 editor, said today.
"Because of the large number
of graduates next year we have
decided to enable the members of
th e class of 1950 to have photos
for the senior section taken this
spring," he said. "This will make
possible greater care in taking the
pictures and also give students a
longer time to select the proof
desired."
Employment
Another advantage is that it
will make prints available to stu
dents desiring finished photos for
summer employment. Activity
cards will be completed as the
pictures are taken, but students
will be given an opportunity to
add activities next fall.
The plan is optional;pictures
will be taken again in the fall,
but the photographer will not be
able to take care of them all then.
. .
The schedule is April 20-22,
Mineral Industries: April 25-29,
Liberal Arts; May 2-6, Engineer
ing; May 9-13, Education, Rome
Economics, and Physical Educa
tion; and May 16-20, Agriculture,
and Chemistry and Physics.
